Vehicle’s braking system check and care is among the important routine should be done by vehicle owners to avoid any disaster when driving.

Follow these guides as your reference:

• Once a month check your car brake oil level. Make sure its oil is between the minimum and maximum level. Do not drive if brake oil level is under minimum level.
• Each six months when you want to change your car tyres don’t forget to check the brake lining. Make sure the gripping layer is still thick.In case you found that the brake liners do not have same thickness between left and right side, ask your mechanic to check brake oil pipeline system or brake pressure system.

  Possibly the pressure imposed on both brakes are unequal and this is dangerous to driving, especially when braking in high speed. Same thing should be done to brake drum.

• If you like to drive aggressively and fast, change the car brake liner to the one that could withstand high heat.Make sure to change your brake oil pipeline system to a better one. This is to ensure that the car brake system can function in high pressure, high temperature and get quicker reaction when the pedal is pressed.

  Brake oil mistake could cause the entire brake system to suffer damage, especially when liner is made from rubber.

• If there are scratches at drum disk, ask a mechanic to assess whether it still usable or not. If changing brake lining is proposed grind the disk back or change to a better drum. Scratches can deter brake lining grip on disk or drum.
• A usual damage is a jammed brake. This happened because brake lining does not return to its position when we disengage brake that grips the disk. Caliper damage which controls brake lining.
• If there are brake oil discharge spots at any part, ask mechanic to check it. Do not take this matter easily is because small leak can become big when braking because of the applied pressure to it.
• For car with automatic transmission, front brake liner is quicker to wear compares to back liner (usually twice faster).
• If you want to modify a car braking system be sure to get written truth by the authority because it is wrong and company insurance will not protect you if any accident happened. It is because you change your brake system without authorization from the authority.
• While driving evade from placing foot on brake pedal. This can save the brake liner usage.
• When moving down a steep hill do not use brake, instead use low gear to control your car speed.
• When adding brake oil, make sure its specification is right. Dot 3 for common use of car which have front disk and back drum. Dot 4 for car that have four wheel disk system and high-powered car.
